The AirTAC Airtac MG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MG20X200S is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
With a 20 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke, this MG series cylinder delivers about 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.8 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a double acting JIS round-body mini cylinder built on a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome plated rod, so it shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown far better than painted-steel minis in damp or outdoor spots. The covers are riveted onto the barrel for a compact, sealed body, and fixed anti-impact bumper pads soften the stroke ends.
Because the S code is in the model, a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection without any rework. For sizing, plan on roughly 94 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which means this cylinder lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-800 mm/s.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The built-in magnet and 200 mm reach suit a small pusher on a packaging line where CMSG switches confirm the eject stroke before the next carton indexes.
About 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa is enough to swing a lightweight diverter or reject flap on a food-grade conveyor, where the stainless barrel handles frequent washdown.
Lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with margin makes this a fit for raising small sample trays or test fixtures in compact laboratory and inspection equipment.
At 20 mm bore this is the smallest MG, pushing 157 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to the 25 mm bore (245 N) if your part weight or friction load creeps above about 90 N, or drop to single-acting MSG/MTG if you only need a spring return. Stroke 200 mm sits well inside the 500 mm standard range, so no made-to-order barrel is needed. Note that with air off or the valve centred the rod drifts freely - for a held position add an external rod lock or a pilot check valve. Order LB foot, FA flange or CB clevis mounting to suit the machine frame, and keep side loads off the 8 mm rod on this longer stroke to avoid bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
Yes. The S in the model code means a piston magnet is already fitted, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed/electronic switches clip directly onto the SUS304 barrel for end-of-stroke signalling. A plain MG without the S suffix has no magnet and cannot take these switches.
